Reviewed Feb 25, 2026The room was very well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Everything felt relatively new and in good condition, which made it especially pleasant. The bed was excellent and very comfortable, which made a real difference to the overall experience. The location was also very convenient, close to the parks and Pak’nSave, making it easy to get around and pick up supplies. It was fully set up for all my needs.
At times the noise from other guests made it a little difficult to sleep well. I completely understand that different people have different circumstances, and I truly respect that. However, as a guest I do appreciate a quiet environment for a good night’s rest. I also think that adding a small bedside lamp would make the room feel even cosier and more welcoming in the evenings.

Reviewed Feb 12, 2026Very comfortable, clean and tidy. Also really close to supermarket and other shops. Was very easy to checkin and checkout. The bed was amazing!

3/10
Reviewed Oct 5, 2025The motel was spotlessly clean and nicely appointed. Had all you needed for a good stay.
There was a random person hanging around the motel courtyard/carpark. This person knocked on our door when we arrived pretending to ask for someone by name - it was clear she just wanted to look inside. There was angry shouting from this random person to possibly a long term guest in another unit late at night and this person was intimidating when we were packing up the car to go. Multiple knocks on our door in the very middle of the night waking us up! Staff presence minimal to do anything about this. We later found out when I reported this to staff that the random person was not actually a guest but just someone the motel seemingly knew was just hanging about the place - really strange. The behaviour of this person meant we did not feel very safe.
